Vibrational Communication in Psyllids [PDF]
Psyllids are small insects that can vector causal agents of serious plant diseases, such as greening in citrus and zebra chip disease in potatoes. Several invasive psyllid species are expanding their geographic range, but there are few pest management tactics available at present.

Characterization of the bacterial communities of psyllids associated with Rutaceae in Bhutan by high throughput sequencing [PDF]
Background Several plant-pathogenic bacteria are transmitted by insect vector species that often also act as hosts. In this interface, these bacteria encounter plant endophytic, insect endosymbiotic and other microbes.

The ABCs of Psyllid Management
Getting rid of Asian citrus psyllids (ACP) from your grove is almost like trying to remove the sand off of a beach. You can bulldoze the great majority and make a huge noticeable impact but getting every last grain of sand will be impossible. What makes

Vibrational behavior of psyllids (Hemiptera: Psylloidea): Functional morphology and mechanisms. [PDF]
Vibrational behavior of psyllids was first documented more than six decades ago. Over the years, workers have postulated as to what the exact signal producing mechanisms of psyllids might be but the exact mechanism has remained elusive.

Impact of Temperature on Psyllid Survival
Citrus growers frequently inquire if Florida temperatures in the summer or winter are sufficiently high or low enough to control or suppress the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP). This question is the subject of this short article.

Evaluation of a push-and-pull strategy using volatiles of host and non-host plants for the management of pear psyllids in organic farming [PDF]
IntroductionPear decline (PD) is one of the most devastating diseases of Pyrus communis in Europe and North America. It is caused by the pathogen ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma pyri’ and transmitted by pear psyllids (Cacopsylla pyri, C.

Current and potential threat of psyllids (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) on eucalypts [PDF]
The introduction of Australian psyllids to non-native ranges across the globe is continually increasing. This is due to an increase in global trade and human movement, exacerbated by climate change.
